What People Have Say About Working With Me

Carly is punctual, organized, and always professional. She has been my director for various film and theater productions, most recently “A Fistful of Plays” at EST/LA where she acted as my director and co-star. As an actor I always feel free in her rehearsals to explore, make bold choices, and have a great creative input. Carly has a way of making her cast feel like teammates rather than pawns that she is moving about the stage. She provides a perfect balance of allowing her actors creative freedom and preparing structured rehearsals so our time is used wisely. She is adaptable to different personalities, encourages uniqueness and growth, and enjoys the discoveries made under collaboration. My creativity is unbounded when I work with her; she is a strong leader, able to command discipline and respect but also creates a fun, safe atmosphere to play.

Carly is a talented actress and singer who played Hero in Much Ado About Nothing at the Coronado Playhouse in 2010. She also performed in a musical pre-show for Much Ado that won several awards as Best Ensemble. She has a strong work ethic which means that she worked well with others in the cast, met line call, brought creative ideas and inventiveness to her role, and demonstrated cast leadership, punctuality, trustworthy and reliable behavior, good work habits, and strong team effort. Her performance skills are superb and I look forward to working with her again. My husband directed the show and I produced it. 
